Late October

Every leaf that falls brings me closer to home... One instant closer.

I'm not sure what it is that keeps me going. But there is something that, despite my sad appearance, keeps me happy inside.

I don't even know why I allways look sad when I step through the door, out into the world. I'm not. I guess it's just me trying to find people who look beyond the mask everyone seems to be wearing... Including mine.

I don't say much. Why would I? Unless someone cares, I'll keep my memories and feelings to myself, thanks. It's a waste of energy telling someone you barely know what your day was like. They don't care. And however hard you look, you can't see their soul when you look into their eyes.
If you want to find out who I am, follow my gaze, look into my eyes. They will say much more than my words ever will.

I miss the seaside so much. I miss the peace. The lack of prejudice. I miss the sand beneath my feet and the first sunbeams of the day. I miss the simple things. I can't find them here, and I feel lost in all this noise.
Take care!
